John Phillips and Bennett should compete for 2nd TE

[nathanlt]

Sorry, I think that title looks best next the other thread with a poll in it.

Bennett sure doesn't have a filter when it comes to slamming his quarterback, does he?

He should probably make sure that his performance is up to par and then worry about who his quarterback is. He sure needs to outpace John Phillips first.

Tony Romo sure isn't holding him back.

Im sure they would be fine with it because even though both are TE's they have different roles.

Maybe. Phillips is more complete in my opinion, because he was catching everything before he got hurt. Clutch catches, too.

Phillips' blocking is better, I think.

If he hadn't been injured, I think Bennett might have made it to third string for a game or two.

 

[The Quest for Six]

John Phillips already passed Bennett last year before the injury

I don't think there should be a competition. I think Phillips should just get the job.

Thanks for making this a thread it's not like anyone already suggested this in posts in the other thread this is totally original thanks.

Romo has a free pass in Dallas, He will never win a super bowl.He does not have what it takes to win a super bowl.Dallas best chance was when T O was here. Now the window is close.They drated Byrant to replace him,that won't work.

Geez guys - i like Phillips too, but he;s coming back from a serious injury and he has 7 NFL catches and a good preseason under his belt. I think he has a real chance to surpass Bennett, but make him earn it first. This thread is more a reaction to Bennet's comments about Romo than it is reality based.

Perhaps. Still, Martellus is an underachiever and Phillips shows more promise than Bennett before the injury. And to my knowledge, Phillips has not embarrassed the cowboys with remarks such as this or stupid videos on youtube.

You make the call, pal.

Promis in a few games and a few catches is not enough to make judgements. That's the kind of reaction that caused so many people to jump on Ogletree's bandwagon a year ago. A year ago many fans were touting Ogletree as the clear alternative as the No. 3 guy and a sure fire No.2 in the making.

I like Phillips promise, and I think it will prove out that he has more to offer than Bennett, but Phillips simply hasn't earned that yet - especially coming off a major injury. If nothing else, people can't assume he will pick right back up where he left off.

I agree... Nobody's job should be safe.

qb's who have a free pass in dallas do not get taken to the mat for going on vacation during a bye playoff week.

qb's who have a free pass in dallas do not get slammed for trying to have a private life and play golf

qb's who have a free pass in dallas do not have people start threads wanting to trade him all the time and let kitna start.

the list goes on but some people regardless of reality insist on living in a world of their own of semi-clever if ill placed cliches and just random idiocy.

I may be in the minority saying this, but I don't think they need to compete at all. I think its Phillips to lose.

Trade Bennett for a 4th or a 7th or whatever, a sack of beans.

Really? You know for a fact that Phillips knee will hold up in an NFL game?

 

[big dog cowboy]

That would be a monumental mistake.

 

[Frozen700]

Bennett should be let go

 

[jason54858]

That would be a monumental mistake.

Dude, I just don't want this clown on this team. I'm sick of his immature behavior off the field. If he is not participating in the "Black Olympics" he is spewing his idiotic opinions on who should start at QB on the Cowboys. Draft a TE or replace him with Phillips whatever.

 

[BlueStar II]

Let them compete for the 2nd TE spot, perhaps that may provide Bennett with a bit more incentive...perhaps...?

The thread title was the reason I made this thread. Unfortunately, someone edited the title.


They should change it back to

Romo and Kitna: John Phillips and Bennett should compete for 2nd TE

Yes and ship MB to the Bills or Browns, never to be heard from again.
